Application filed February 3, 1900. Serial No. 3.788. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that LGEORGE WEIss,a citizen of the United States, and aresident of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, haveinvented an Improved Molding- Machine, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to molding-machines, and has for its object toprovide a moldingmachiue primarily designed to be operated by power, butalso adapted to be operated by hand and which shall combine the featuresof simplicity of construction with relative cheapness of manufacture,great strength, and efficiency.

The invention consists of the various features, combinations offeatures, and details of construction hereinafter described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings a moldingmachine of my invention is fullyillustrated.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of myimproved molding-machine, portions ofthe foundation and portions of the frame being shown in section tobetter show the operative parts thereof. Fig. 2 is an end view thereof,likewise showing a portion of the frame in section. Fig. 3 is atransverse vertical sectional view thereof on the line 3 3 of Fig. 1.Fig. 4 is a plan section on the line 4: 4 of Fig. 1, looking in thedirection indicated by the arrows. Figs. 5 and 6 are vertical sectionalviews of the power-cylinder on the line 5 5 of Fig. 4,

showing the position and relation of parts when the piston is atopposite ends of its stroke; and Figs. 7, S, 9, and 10 are enlargeddetail views of parts of the machine.

The frame of my improved molding-machine consists of a suitablesupporting-base A, in which are secured upright rods or standards A A onwhich the stripper-plate A is supported. As shown, said supporting-baseconsists of framesections A A rigidly bolted together. shown, also, saidrods or standards A A are rigidly secured in upright bosses a. formedintegral with the frame-sections A, the lower ends ofsaid bosses formingfeet upon which said machine-frame rests. A suitable solid foundationA", of timber or masonry, is preferably provided for said machine torest upon, the space within said foundation being open to receivecertain parts of the machine, as will appear from an in spection ofFigs. 1, 2, and 3 of the drawings. Preferably, also, the foundation Awill be laid so that the top thereof will coincide with the floor-line;but this is not essential.

The stripper-plate A may be secured to the supporting rods or standardsA A in any desired manner. As shown, said stripperplate is provided onits under side with bosses a suitable holes in which are fitted to thereduced upper ends a of said rods or standards A A and is secured tosaid rods or standards 7 by means of screws a which pass through saidstripper-plate and are threaded into the ends of said rods or standards,all as clearly shown in Fig. 9 of the drawings. The lower ends'of thebosses a rest upon the shoulders formed by reducing the upperends of therods or standards A A which thus operate to maintain said stripper-platein fixed vertical adjustment.

While I have shown but four rods or standards A and two rods orstandards A it will be understood that these, and particularly the rodsor standards A may be increased or decreased as necessary to givedesired support or rigidity to the stripper-plate.

The pattern-plate B is carried on a suitable head or frame B, locatedbeneath the stripper-plate A and movable vertically toward and from saidstripper plate on suitable guides. As shown, the head or frame B, whichcarries said pattern-plate B, is a skeleton structure consisting of webs1), preferably formed integral with each other, as clearly shown in Fig.4, the pattern-plate B being detachably secured to said head or frame Bby means of screws b, which pass through holes formed in bosses on saidhead or frame B in proper position and are threaded into saidpattern-plate in the usual manner, thus making provision forconveniently changing the pattern when desired.

As shown, the guides for the head or frame B in its movement toward andfrom the stripper-plate A are formed by the upright rods or standards A,to which are fitted suitable bearings in bosses b on said head or frameB, said bosses being sufficiently long to form, in effect, sleeves whichwill efiectually prevent them from binding or cramping upon said rods orstandards A. In the preferable construction shown, also, additionalguides are provided for said head or frame B, consisting of rods orplungers B secured in suitable bosses b on said head or frame, said rodsor plungers B being fitted to and longitudinally movable in suitablebearings formed in bosses b on the base A of the machine'frame. Thelower ends of the bearings in said bosses b are closed, and I thereforeprovide vent holes or openings b therefor, which will effectuallyprevent the formation of vacuums beneath said rods or plungers B as theframe or head B is raised and the compression of air in said bearings assaid head or frame descends, either of which might prevent or seriouslyinterfere with the proper operation of the machine.

B represents a pattern supported in operative position on thepattern-plate B. As shown, said pattern B is dctachably secured to saidpattern-plateby screws b, which pass through holes in said pattern-plateand are threaded into said pattern in a familiar manner.

In order to stop the head or frame B and the parts carried thereongradually as they approach the limit of their downward movement, andthus relieve the various parts of the machine from the shock and straindue to the too-rapid descent and sudden stopping thereof,suitablebuffers are provided beneath said head or frame. As shown, said buifersconsist of coiled springs 19 inserted between the bosses b on said heador frame and the bosses I) on the machine-frame and around the rods orplungers B which thus act as guides to maintain said springs b inposition. As illustrated, a section of a flask, either the drag or thecope, is supported upon the stripper-plate A being maintained inoperative adjustment thereon by dowel-pins c in I the usual manner.

As preferably constructed, my improved machine comprises means forslightly raising the section of flask O as the head or frame B descends,breaking the adhesion between said section of flask and thestripper-plate, thus facilitating the removal of said section of flask.As shown, the means for so raising said section of flask are as follows,particular reference being bad to Fig. 8 of the drawf ings: Pivoted uponthe stripper-plate A are bell-cranks O, the upper ends of which aredirectly beneath lugs c on the section of flask (J. The lower ends ofsaid bell-cranks O project into the path of travel of cam-plates C onthe movable head or frame B, said cam plates 0 being preferably of suchlengths that they will be between said lower ends of said bell-cranks atall points in the travel of said head or frame B. The lower ends 0 ofthe cam plates 0 are relatively narrow to permit the upper ends of saidbellcranks to be depressed sufficiently to allow the section of flask Cto rest in contact with the stripper-plate A The upper ends 0 of lowerends 0 thereof, so that as the head or frame B descends, bringing thelower ends of the bell-cranks G into engagement therewith, said lowerends of said bell-cranks will ,be forced outwardly, correspondinglyraising the upper ends thereof, which, contacting with the undersurfaces of the lugs c on the section of flask 0, will operate in anobvious manner to raise said section of flask C in the manner desired,in which raised position it will be maintained until said head or frameB is again raised. The operative surfaces of the portions 0 c of saidcam-plates C merge into each other on gradual curves, as clearly shown.

The head or frame B, carrying the patternplate B and the pattern B israised and lowered by means of cranks D, secured to a central shaft D,revolubly mounted adjacent to the bottom of the machine in suitablebearings formed in the sections A of the machine-frame. The cranks D arecon nected to the frame B by connecting-rods or pitmen D which arepivotally connected to said cranks and to said head or frame.

In the preferable construction shown (see particularly Fig. 7) thepitmen D are made in two sections d d, of which the sections (Z arethreaded into the-sections cl and are provided with lock-nuts d wherebysaid sections 61 cl may be secured in any adjusted positions.Preferably, also, the sections (1 of said pitmen D are connected to thehead or frame by a ball-and-socket joint, thus making provision forscrewing said sections d of said pitmen into or out of thes'ections (Zthereof. As shown, the ball-and-socket connections between said pitmen Dand the head or frame B consist of balls (1 formed on the ends of thesections (1 of said pitmen, which are fitted to suitable sockets formedin bosses d on said ihead or frame, in which they are secured by meansof caps d bolted to said bosses. Provision for lubricating saidball-and-socket joints is made as follows: Cups or reservoirs d areprovided in the tops of the bosses (Z which communicate with Sockets ofthe bearings by suitable holes (1 so that oil supplied gto said cupsorreservoirs will be delivered to said bearings through the holes (1 Thecups or reservoirs (Z will preferably be packed :with waste or the like,and oil may be supfplied thereto when desired through'lateral oil-holesd in the bosses (1 By means of the described construction of l thepitmenD and their described connection with the head or frame B it is obviousthat (said pitmen may be lengthened or shortened within limits, thusafiording very convenient means for quickly and accurately regulatingthe extreme raised position of the head or frame B when necessary toadjust the parting-line of the flask. To provide for convenientlyturning the sections 61 of the pitlmen D they are provided on theiropposite sides with flattened surfaces d, adapted to said cam-plates Care made wider than the ,be engaged by a wrench.

The pitmen D will preferably be adjusted to such lengths that the heador frame B will be in position to bring the pattern thereon in propervertical adjustment when the cranks D are at the limits of theirthrow-that is, when said cranks are on dead-centers. To prevent thecranks D from carrying by their dead-points, rigid stops (Z Fig. 3, areprovided on the machine-frame in the paths of travel of said cranks,which operate to limit the movement of said cranks in the desiredmanner.

While I have herein shown two crank-andpitmen connections between theshaft D and the head or frame 13, it will be understood that they may beincreased as desired to meet requirements, or in the case of a smallmachine a single crank or pitman may be used.

It is obvious that oscillation of the shaft D and cranks D will operateto raise and lower the head or frame B and the parts carried thereon.

My improved machine is designed to be operated, primarily,by power, andI will now describe said operating mechanism.

Rigidly supported in proper position is a cylinder E. In the preferableconstruction shown said cylinder E is supported upon the base A of themachine-frame by means of a bracket 6, formed integral with saidcylinder and bolted to said base A of said machineframe. Fitted to saidcylinderisa piston E, in which is secured a piston-rod E the outer endof which is secured in a cross-head E, which is longitudinally movableon guide rods 6, secured in the packing-gland E of the lowercylinder-head, said cross-head E being provided with suitable bearingsto engage said rods. Links E connect said crosshead E with cranks Esecured to the actuatingshaft D of the machine. Movement of said pistonIE will thus operate to rotate said shaft D, and thus to raise and lowerthe head or frame B.

Referring now particularly to Figs. 5 and (3, the cylinder E is providedwith usual admission and exhaust ports 2 e and e, which are controlled,primarily, by a main valve F, which, as shown, is cylindrical and hollowand is fitted to and longitudinally movable in a suitable cylindricalbore or seat in the valve-chest F. Said main valve F is provided with anopening f, which communicates with the interior thereof and is adaptedto be brought into register with the port 6 by proper movement of saidvalve. Said valve is also provided with a cut-away portion f, which isin continuous communication with the exhaust-port c and is adapted to bebrought alternately into communication with the ports 6 6 The port oropening fin the main valve F is controlled by means of a secondary valveF which also consists of a hollow cylinder fitted to and ion gitudinallymovable in a suitable bore or seat in the main valve F. The main valve Fis operated by means of a hand-lever F pivoted upon a bracket f on theupper head of the cylinder E. The connect-ion between said hand-lever Fand said main valve F comprises a stem or rodf secured in said mainvalve F, and links f which connect said stem or rod f with saidhand-lever F The movement of the main valve F is limited by suitablestops adapted to arrest movement thereof when one or the other of theports 6 e is open. As shown, said stops are applied directly to thehand-lever F and consist, preferably, of screws f threaded throughlugsf" on the bracketf above and below said lever F and in its path oftravel. Said screws f thus form adjustable stops whereby the extremepositions of the main valve F may be regulated to produce desiredopenings of the admission-ports e e ,th us regulating the speed withwhich the head or frame B is raised and lowered, as desired. Thesecondary valve F is operated automatically by means of a rod or stemf", the lower end of which rides or rests upon a cam F formed on theperimeter of the hub of the cranks E the configuration and adjustment ofsaid cam being such that said secondary valve will be raised to closethe port or openingf in the main valve F, thus closing the admission-port e atadesired point in the descent of the head or frame B,and will be lowered again as said frame approaches the upper limit ofits movement, so that said.

port or opening fmay be brought into register with the port 6 and willnot be covered by said secondary valve F when it is again desired tolower said head or frame 13. An antifriction-roller f is preferablymounted at the lower end of the valve-stem f which bears upon said cam,and said stem is provided with a squared sectionfflwhioh engages asquare bearing orsocket formed in a bracket f on the main frame of themachine. Inv

the preferable construction shown the raised portion of the cam F isformed on a blockf secured to the hub of the cranks E so as to beadjustable circumferentially thereof, thus providing means forregulating the raising and lowering of the secondary valve F As shown,said block f is secured to said crankhub by a flush head-screw f,threaded into said cran k'hnb, said screw being in t-erchangeable in aseries of suitable holes f in said block f. As shown, springs f f areapplied to the main and secondary valves F F respectively, which operatein an obvious manner, the spring f to counterbalance the weight of themain valve F and the spring f to supplement the'action of gravity todepress the secondary valve F when the roller f runs off from the raisedportion of the cam F onto the lower portion thereof.

Fluid under pressure to operate the machine is admitted to thevalve-chest F, below the valves F F through a pipef, which communicateswith any suitable source of sup ply, (not shown,) whence it passesdirectly into the cylinder below the piston, the port 6 being open, asshown in Fig. 5, or into theinteriors of the valves F F through openingsf in the secondary valve F and thence into the cylinder above thepiston, the port or openingf being in register'with the port e and thesecondary valve F depressed to uncover said port or openingf. Saidoperating fluid is also admitted to the space in the valvechest abovethe valves F F through openings f in the end of the main valve F toequalize the pressure thereof on the lower end of said valves.

In practice I prefer to use compressed air for operating my improvedmachine; but I contemplate the use of steam, water, or the like, ifdesired.

I will now describe the operation of my improved machine, starting withthe head or frame B in raised position, as shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3 ofthe drawings, in which position the piston will be at the upper end ofits stroke and the valves F F in the positions shown in Fig. 5. It beingdesired to lower the head or frame B, the hand-lever F is moved todepress the main valve F into the position shown in Fig. 6, thesecondary valve remaining temporarily in the position shown in Fig. 5,thus bringing the opening f into register with the port 6 and openingsaid port and at the same time bringing the port a into communicationwith the exhaust-port e With the valves in this position the operatingfluid will be admitted above the piston, forcing down said piston andalso the head or frame B through the described connection between saidpiston and said head or frame. At a predetermined point in the descentof the head or frame B the rollerf will run onto the raised portion ofthe cam F, as in Fig. 6, raising the secondary valve F and closing theopeningf and the port 2 after which the pressure in said cylinder willgradually descrease,th us enabling the buifersprings b to bring the heador frame B to rest in lowered position gradually and with-- out anyshock or jar. When it is again desired to raise the head or frame B, thehandlever F is moved to bring the main valve F into the position shownin Fig. 5, opening the port 6 closing the port 6 and bringing said port6 into communication with the exhaust-port e. The secondary valve F willremain in the position shown in Fig. 6 until the roller f runs ofi fromthe high portion of the cam F when it will fall to the position shown inFig. 5, in which position it will remain until the head or frame B isfully raised. This cycle is repeated indefinitely, the molds beingformed in the usual way. By means of the hand-lever F the main valve Fis at all times under the complete control of the operator, so that theadmission-port to either end of the cylinder may be opened a desireddistance to cause the head or frame B to be raised or lowered withdesired speed.

While, as hereinbefore stated, my improved machine is primarily designedto be operated by power, I also contemplate its operation by hand. Toeifect this end, a socket is provided in the hub of the cranks E adaptedto be engaged by a hand-lever G. As shown, said soocket is formed in anextension of the hub of said cranks E which projects beyond the end ofthe shaft D, and to facilitate finishing said socket the end of said hubis cut away, as shown at g, Fig. 2, thus allowing con venient access tosaid socket with a suitable tool.

While the machine herein shown is rectangular in shape, I desire it tobe understood that the shape of said machine is immaterial, myimprovements admitting embodiment in a machine of any desired shape, asround or square.
